How to use the Local Offer and Feedback
The Isle of Wight Local Offer is intended to be much more than just a directory. Its aim is to help you find the material that you are looking for or to sign post you to somebody who can provide you with additional information or answer any questions that you might have.
Most importantly the Local Offer is intended for you and will be shaped by you. If you have comments or feedback you want to give us on what is or is not included then please click here and email using the 'Send a message to this service' tab.

Information Advice and Support Service - Feedback
To meet the statutory requirements of the Children and Families Act 2014 this service changed its name from Parent Partnership and is now known as the Special Educational Needs and Disability Information Advice and Support Service or SEND IASS for short. The name was the preferred choice of parents who responded to a survey conducted by Parents Voice through their Facebook page.
